Larry Thelen

The Red News-Blue News feature is quite welcome, considering that the media can't seem to report anything independent of its political spins. What we have here is a rancher who refused to pay his quite low grazing rent on federal land for 20 years before the government-landlord began taking possession of his cattle in satisfaction of a lien for back rent. So how come Fox News isn't defending the landlord government instead of the free-loading tenant? You'd think that it would have been that question that ended the story, not the fact that the rancher started spouting junk that was irrelevant to the controversy.
